As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; build up, build up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.
And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I do not come and strike the earth with a curse.
For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
